In contemporary discussions about sustainable technologies, the emphasis lies not only on finding new solutions to current problems, but also on mobilizing older technologies now understood as important tools for sustainability. In the search for mobility, bicycles have become a new policy instrument for sustainability, while recycling of waste has also received renewed attention. This workshop looks at the older mobility and waste technologies to explore their long term development, their users and use, and to analyze the historical patterns, cultures, and path dependencies relevant for a better understanding of the successes and failures in current policies.
